The diorama could be seen as the intersection of art, lm, theater and science, an approach to the history of spectatorship. Often a pedagogical aid in natural history museums. The diorama recreates a three-dimensional scene frozen in time and space, usually enclosed in a display case. The viewer is invited to believe in the authenticity of the artificial decor. Although the etymology of diorama means ' to see through', the device also serves as a screen on which a world of fantasy and ction merges with the display of knowledge and science. In a deserted landscape lies a few concrete structure surrounded by a barbed wire fence. The scene is a time capsule, a hermetically sealed place as a metaphor for both a vision of the future and the past. All life is gone, but a new organism grows among the debris and begins to spread across the dead earth. Part 1/8 of Capsule series.
